Demise of subh

a big loss to the cpim
With the de
ath of tr
ansport
and sports minister Subh
as Ch
akr
aborty, CPIM perh
aps lost its most influenti
al m
ass le
ader. Throughout his politic
al c
areer, Subh
as h
as been
a controversi
al ch
ar
acter. Every time he h
as opened his mouth, be it in f
avour of his p
arty’s policies or opposition, he h
as cre
ated controversy. Though in his own words, he never s
aid
anything controversi
al, but only the h
ard truth th
at h
ave evoked controversy. Sever
al times in his politic
al p
arty, Subh
as h
as been criticized by his fellow politici
ans for m
aking controversi
al st
atements. Sometimes, his st
atements h
ave put the p
arty in such uncomfort
able situ
ations th
at they even thought of removing him from the ministry. But
above
all these, Subh
as Ch
akr
aborty w
as
among the most depend
able m
an in the p
arty. He w
as
a m
an who could m
ake
everything possible, except bringing b
ack life in
a de
ad body. He w
as
a m
aster
administr
ator,
an org
anizer
and
a m
an full of positive energy who
alw
ays wished to do something for his st
ate.
